I’ve always been a fan of workshop days with Nigel Fleming. He always makes sure you learn something and you come away with fantastic photographs. More than that, he’s incredibly generous with his time outside of the workshops, answering questions, providing ideas or inspiration, even fin ding links for the cools toys you’re trying to buy.

For Nigel’s latest workshop, he organised a day in the Ulster Aviation Society with two fantastic professional models… and a smoke machine.

Yup, the coolest toy you could ever want on a photoshoot, a smoke machine. Well, in this case we had a smoke machine, helicopters, fighter planes and a replica Spitfire…..
